I am also a photographer, and Alt process printer. My Interests are: publication, hand-made art books, visual journals, collaborative art books, Compact Disc packaging, design & layout.

Tim Morehead from Visual Ramblings Has started a new website for artists interviews.Here is a link for the interview he did with me:http://interviewwithanartist.com/

PROCESS:Almost everyday I am contacted through one of my websites with questions about my digital process. I am now doing presentations on my creative process and I am available for speaking engagements. Contact me at my E-mail for bookings: ninapak@dreamloka.com

I work with a lot of wonderful people, Most of them are just real people rather than professional "models", and to be honest I prefer it. I like flaws and character, and I don't mind someone who is not confident or who doesn't know how beautiful they are. Many of the people I shoot are friends or have become my friends. I want to say that I would never get these amazing images without the grace of my muses. It is a collaboration.

One of the reasons I enjoy iStudio, is for the connections I have made with other artists I admire. There is nothing more inspiring for an artist than to learn that there are others in this world who share their vision. I celebrate their success.

I rarely do trade work, I do not need to build a portfolio, my rates are reasonable, contact me for my rates sheet if you are interested in my art. If you model for me:You will get JPG digital photo files within a week of the shoot, which you can post on-line, or send to friends and family. Unless we are doing fashion editorial work, in this case you need to hold the images until the magazine publishes. I will Drop Box the large image files for your portfolio and personal use, They will be printable TIFF files, (no raw images will be given.) No further manipulation, editing, cropping can be done to the images.

I want to thank all my models and Make Up Artists and other stylists who have been so supportive and enthusiastic about my work.

About Trade work:I am currently doing trade for stock only. There are some images I occasionally need a model for. If you can not pay me to shoot with you, consider modeling for stock images, there is a chance you will get on a book cover.
